Abstract: A light weight operator's headset includes a generally cylindrical housing in which is disposed a receiver transducer, and an arm pivotally joined to one end of the housing. Secured to the arm is a microphone transducer, from which a sound conductive tube extends in a pivotally and extensibly adjustable fashion to the operator's mouth. An arcuate resilient member extends obliquely from the housing to define a slot therebetween in which the outer ear is received to thereby support the headset. A channel in the arcuate member receives the conductors which extend to their respective transducers.
